Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Things from Hell

The Evil Ghost directly released its Evil Qi and trapped the two of them in the middle. It was clear that it was planning a baited trap.

Hiding in the shadows, Han Xin immediately became anxious. If it weren’t for Luo Yong holding him back, he would have already jumped out.

“Captain, calm down,” Luo Yong said, holding onto Han Xin to prevent him from charging out, “Did you forget what Lady Zhong just said? If she didn’t ask us to come out, then we definitely shouldn’t go!”

“Are you blind?” Han Xin pointed at the scene in the distance, his tone urgent, “Now we can’t even see them, and you want us to just wait here? If something really happens to her, how are we supposed to explain it to her family?”

This situation had arisen because of their incompetence – that’s why they had involved Zhong Niangyao. If something unexpected happened to Zhong Niangyao because of this incident, he’d find it hard to forgive himself, even if he died a thousand times over.

“But even if you go out now, you can’t help with anything!” Luo Yong held Han Xin more tightly, “Moreover, if Lady Zhong is actually fine, and you recklessly disrupt her plan, then what?”

“If we spook the snake now and fail to capture that Evil Ghost, it will be even more difficult later on. Do you want to keep watching innocent people die here?”

With those words, Han Xin’s previously agitated emotions gradually calmed down, and he could only say, “Then let’s wait another ten minutes. If we still don’t see Lady Zhong, we’ll rush out.”

“Alright, alright!”

Seeing that Han Xin had finally calmed down, Luo Yong agreed repeatedly.

Subsequently, they both looked toward Zhong Niangyao again with heightened tension, not blinking an eye, for fear of missing any moment.

Meanwhile, Zhong Niangyao, who had been enveloped by the Evil Qi, watched the Evil Ghost transform into a mass of Evil Qi and then charge toward her, her expression unchanging.

The mass of Evil Qi, with its intense murderous and chilling aura, surged directly at Zhong Niangyao with a fierce and unhesitating attack. Moreover, it moved extremely fast, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

Just as the Evil Qi was about to touch her body, Zhong Niangyao frowned and then reached out her hand to grasp the mass of dark energy.

Afterward, as if she had caught hold of something, she grabbed one end and then slammed it forcefully onto the ground.

She immediately bit open her index finger and started to create a Void Talisman.

The bright red blood flowed out slowly, and Zhong Niangyao’s movements sped up. The blood formed a pattern of a talisman that shimmered with a golden light in front of her.

In just a few seconds, the talisman had formed.

Without any hesitation, Zhong Niangyao pushed with her right hand, and the talisman fell directly onto the mass of Evil Qi.

“Ah ah ah–”

A shrill scream rose again as the mass of Evil Qi once more morphed into the likeness of the Evil Ghost.

However, the Evil Ghost was too preoccupied to attend to anything else, for its body was aflame.

The flames seemed small, yet it felt an incredibly suffocating and scorching heat. Furthermore, it could distinctly feel the deep-seated pain of its soul being burned by the flames.

Since becoming a ghost, he had never felt any pain. But now, not only did he feel the pain, but also an unpleasant sensation. If the flames continued to burn, he feared he might truly die here.

Just thinking about dying here again made the Evil Ghost’s eyes turn even more blood-red, and the resentment within him deepened. Especially remembering the horrendous way he had died, his resentment grew ever stronger.

As his resentment intensified, the flames engulfing the Evil Ghost gradually shrank and, after a few stubborn struggles, they extinguished in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Niangyao once again gathered her energy. She knew the Evil Ghost she was facing this time seemed to be genuinely formidable.

Nevertheless, she felt no fear. Regardless, she must vanquish the Evil Ghost today.

“You little girl, you’ve really angered me,” said the Evil Ghost, looking at Zhong Niangyao as if she were a dish on the table, “I had initially planned to leave your body intact. But now I’ve changed my mind. I want you to die a death far more miserable than those before you.”

While speaking, tendrils of dark energy emanated from his body and rapidly flew towards Zhong Niangyao.

The dark energy, as if conscious, attacked Zhong Niangyao’s limbs and head, seemingly intent on first immobilizing her.

With a swift dodge, Zhong Niangyao evaded the attack and then pulled out a pair of silver handcuffs from her bag.

“Ha ha ha, little girl, I thought you had some skills, but now, it seems you are scared stiff! Don’t tell me you think you can control me with just a pair of silver handcuffs!” the Evil Ghost taunted.

“Why don’t we find out?” she replied.

As she spoke, Zhong Niangyao threw the silver handcuffs at the Evil Ghost.

Then, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed the dark energy that had just emitted from the Evil Ghost. Her hands shone with a golden light, and upon encountering this light, the dark energy recoiled as if meeting something terrifying, seemingly trying to escape.

“Too late!”

Muttering to herself, Zhong Niangyao moved even quicker, reaching out to grasp the scattered Evil Qi.

Upon being seized by Zhong Niangyao, she squeezed forcefully and the dark energy dissipated into the ether.

Seeing this, the Evil Ghost grew increasingly furious and sought to stop Zhong Niangyao’s actions. This was not ordinary Evil Qi, but the power he had accumulated over a long time.

He couldn’t stand to see it destroyed by Zhong Niangyao!

However, at this moment, he was powerless to stop her, as the silver handcuffs had already reached him. He had thought he could easily dodge them, but the handcuffs snapped onto his wrists.

Immediately, he felt all his power being suppressed, as if it were locked down. He tried to break free but couldn’t.

Only then did he realize that these were not ordinary silver handcuffs, but hell’s tools for restraining ghosts.

“Who exactly are you?” the Evil Ghost gasped with wide eyes, “Why do you have something from hell?”

Though he had never been to hell, as a ghost, he had some understanding of it.
